He stood 5 feet 934 inches at the 
withers and his horns were 2034 inches 
around at the base. 
Wild boar and deer are so easy 
that I only take them in my stride 
when we need meat. I hope to nail 
another tiger before I leave for 
Manila, but it is nothing —tiger 
shooting—to the glorious thrill of 
standing on your two feet in a thick 
jungle with 3 tons of mad bone and 
muscle coming your way, destruction 
bent. 
I carry the .600 myself from now 
on and God help the next elephant 
that tries to steal my cavalry stuff 
of charging. MAasor J. A. CONSIDINE, 
Manila, P. I. 
The Evening Grosbeak in 
Michigan 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
F romantic interest to Michigan 
bird lovers is the Evening Grosbeak. 
It was first made known to science in 
1823 by Schoolcraft, who took a speci- 
men in April of that year near Sault 
St. Marie. It was not until 1869 that 
it was again noted within our limits. 
In the winter of 1889-90 it visited 
nearly all parts of the state. 
It should be noted that, so far, its 
range was known to include the Rocky 
Mountain region, with an _ eastern 
migration in winter. These migra- 
tions did not always extend across the 
Mississippi River until recent years. 
In the winter of 1886-7 a flight car- 
ried the birds as far east as New York. 
In 1889-90 they wandered nearly to 
the Atlantic coast. Within the last 
' fifteen years it has become a regular 
winter visitor to the Upper Peninsula 
and its eastern wanderings have ex- 
tended to all the New England states, 
New York, Pennsylvania, northern 
New Jersey and Long Island. 
The nest and eggs remained un- 
known until 1901 when three nests 
were discovered in the mountains of 
New Mexico. The nests were in pine 
trees, from forty to seventy feet from 
the ground. 
In its eastern wanderings it was 
noted that some birds remained until 
the middle of May. Bird lovers every- 
where hoped that they would remain 
to nest. It was in the Upper Penin- 
sula of Michigan that birds, both old 
and young, were first noted in the 
summer months east of the Rocky 
Mountains. Suspicion that they were 
nesting was finally confirmed by the 
finding of a nesting colony near 
Whitefish Point, Lake Superior, by 
J. S. Ligon (The Auk, April, 1923.) 
So after ninety-nine years it has been 
discovered nesting near the place 
where it was first taken by a scien- 
tific investigator.

Marksmanship Owes 
toRemington Cartridges 
HE first metallic cartridges ever produced were 
made by Remington 66 years ago. 
Practically every improvement in rifle and pistol 
ammunition has been invented and developed by 
Remington. 
Giving the sportsman ammunition he knows he 
can depend upon day after day, doesn’t just happen. 
It grows out of checking and testing to almost un- 
paralleled standards. 
Remington .30-06 Palma-Olympic: 
The cartridge that Sgt. E. J. Doyle used in his history- 
making run of 200 straight bull’s-eyes at 500 yards. 
The cartridge that won almost every important match 
at Sea Girt and Camp Perry. 
Remington Hi-Speed Cartridges: 
Increased speed, flatter trajectory, longer range, better 
accuracy and greater shocking power. There are 
thousands of owners of Remington and other makes 
of rifles, from .25 to .44 calibers, who will welcome 
this chance to convert them into modern high velocity 
rifles without even'changing the barrel, simply by 
using these new Hi-Speed Cartridges. Write for 
Hi-Speed Circular. 
Remington .22 Caliber Cartridges: 
Headed by the now famous .22 Long Rifle Palma— 
which led the field by a wide margin at both the big 
small bore shoots last year. Used by R. H. McGarity 
of Washington in his unequalled run of three consec- 
utive perfect scores at 100 yards. 
There is a Remington Cartridge for every kind 
and caliber rifle and pistol. And a dealer near you 
who sells them.
